Topic: D Smith has passed on. (Read 2297 times)

The make - up artist wingadingdingy Smith unfortunately died today age 92. He revolutionised the use of prosthetics, working on The Exorcist, Little Big Man and Amedeaus amongst many others. A long life but a sad loss.

Seriously?! I thought we were grown-ups here. That word filter is an insult.

Cosign that.

Please. Have a bit of respect for eHellDame and the mods. They didn't substitute the word because of some over-prudishness. They substitute the word because Google AdSense (which funds this site) will serve up obscene ads if they don't.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bow lines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. -Mark Twain

But seriously, using wingadingdingy as the replacement?

This also doesn't explain why the initials O M G, when written without the spaces, is replaced with "Crudmonkeys!"

If you want to circumvent the word filter in a situation like this (i.e. NOT because you're trying to post content you shouldn't, but just because a word can have two meanings), insert a tag in the middle of the word. So "di [color = black]ck[/ color]" without the spaces gives you what you wanted in the first place, and won't trip the weird ads.

That doesn't work in thread titles; the coding shows up.

It is the policy of the United States Navy to neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons aboard its vessels.

I find most of them insulting, this one in particular, as if people are giggling behind their keyboards at rude words like children. We're not children, and if Google is serving up inappropriate ads as a result of using totally normal words, perhaps it's time to look at an ad solution that's more suitable for the ethos of the forum, rather than censoring the membership with infantile phrases.
